The Little Review

The article is clearly in favor of the poets as it describes them as “Brave, honorable, and distinguished lives.” It claims that the loss of these leaders did not only effect Ireland, but the whole world. It continues with a personal poem from each poet then ends with a passage about each poet and how their actions helped shape the revolution. The constant praise features how passionately <b><i>The Little Review</i></b> feels about these political issues during World War I. It has no problem in pointing out how crudely an English journal published pictures of the revolutionists with a picture of the one who ordered their executions. The article states that the poets have “Intellectual and spiritual faces” while the general who ordered their death has “the face of a man who could never liberate himself.” <br><br>

Again, this ties into the anarchist view of a society free from the state. Padraic Colum clearly is not a fan of the British Government, who he describes as simultaneously "exploiting the sympathy" of society toward a young poet, while also executing the three aforementioned Irish poets. He places their, in his opinion unjustified and unacceptable, deaths on the British Government, helping make the magazines argument toward anarchism stronger.
